I will just recap on the answers...

Spot Prize 1: How many times have I taken part in 31DOH?
Well, I first took part in 2014 so this is my 6th attempt!

Spot Prize 2 - What the origin of this quote:

Poem written by John Keats

Spot Prize 3 - What is the meaning of 'Or bed'?
On the net this is variously written as 'Or bed' or 'Orbed'.
My take on 'orbed' is that it means a full moon. I think it is written 'Or bed' to give the pronunciation as two syllables - but it could also mean the moon has risen from its bed and is out of bed... what do you think?

Spot Prize 4

I wonder if you can spot the deliberate mistake in this photo?

On the ATC with the bat the background paper is upside down.

Spot Prize 7

Please tell me the origin of today's quote:
